Hakone Utsugi （ハコネウツギ）or Weigela Coraeensis is a flower that is found near beaches in Japan. Its blooming season is May~June. This flower is white at first, but after pollination it turns itself pink. Because the insects that pollinate the flower see white better than pink, the white unpollinated flowers stand out and that increases their chance of getting pollinated. Nature is amazing. This flower’s Japanese name includes the word Hakone(a well-known resort area in Japan), but actually you don’t see many of these flowers in Hakone.
